“My daughter is an actress as well... And that’s actually how I heard about it -- her manager texted me at 7:30 this morning right when it happened -- and said isn’t this right near your building??? And we walked out and we were like -- yes - oh my God,” recalled Savage. “Oh, my son would be in line for school at 7:30 when this happened. So and he starts school in two weeks -- so it’s actually a tremendous blessing that school has not started -- because there would have been -- hundreds of children there. There are 500 children who go to that school -- so they would have all been there right when this happened,” explained Savage.
